How to Know if a Girl Is Polite
Deciding whether a girl is being polite or has a crush on you is tricky. Figuring out where you stand with a girl is key before flirting or asking her out on a date. Getting an accurate read on a girl's feelings saves you the embarrassment of escalating flirtation with a girl who isn't romantically attracted to you. Fortunately, many signs indicate whether a girl is just being polite.

Notice if the girl touches you. If a girl just wants to be your friend, she probably won't touch your arm when emphasizing a point or squeeze your shoulder in casual conversation. Shaking hands doesn't count, but watch out for other instances of casual touching.

Look at the girl's body language. If a girl's legs are crossed away from you and she's not leaning toward you, she may just be acting politely. Crossed arms are another indication of politeness.

Listen to her laugh. If she lets out a low chuckle after you make a joke, she's probably just being polite. Girls' laughter tends to take on a high pitch when nervous and around a boy they like.

Check to see if a girl is flipping her hair. Girls who talk to boys they have crushes on often play with their hair, wrapping it between their fingers. If a girl is just being polite, she probably won't pay much attention to how she looks.

Pay attention to the frequency of these behaviors. If a girl flips her hair once or briefly laughs loudly at your joke, politeness may be a factor. If she continues these behaviors or combines any of them, open a conversation to determine if she has a crush on you.
